So we're all aware that the disease popularly known as Spanish flu killed more people than died in WW1; commonly quoted figures tend to be in the 40-50 million range. Recent estimates have in fact revised that figure upwards, and it's now considered that between 50 and 100 million people died in the outbreak. That's between 2.5% and 5% of the world's population at the time--worse than any war, revolution or genocide.
So considering the history-altering potential of such a tremendous death toll, I'm wondering what WIs could be made out of it. I've had a look at other threads mentioning the Spanish flu, and these are those I've found:
Most of those threads were either stillborn or received little attention. Yet I can't help thinking that there's an AH potential to the Spanish flu that we have yet to tap into.
